This inventionrelates to a liquid distributthat the diameter of the pipe may vary withing system or sprinkling apparatus and more out requiring a different size bearing supparticularly to the pipe support for supportport. In Fig. 2 is shown a dotted circle ing the rotating distributing pipe'that carwhich may represent the largest size pipe I riesthe spraying nozzles. One object of that can .be supported'by my improved sup this invention is to provide a pipe support port. a that is detachably secured to the supporting Secured to the bottom of the casting is a. standards and is so constructed that pipes pilot or spring clip .9 which is adapted to be of various diameters may besupported by wedged. within thehollow'end of the pipe the same pipe support.

A bearing support for the purpose the operator by grasping thehandle e of the support, a bracket provided with rollers for turning union may rotate the distributin rotatably supporting long pipe sections of pipe d to position the same in any desired various diameters, and a spring clip secured position so as to direct the water spray for to the bracket and adapted to be sprung 40 the purpose of irrigating the surrounding Within the tubular support and to frictionas ground. This rotating pipe is suitably supally engage the same for detachably securported at a plurality of points by the standing the bracket to said support to permit the ards f anchored in the ground. These axes of the rollers to be disposed in parallelstandards are generally formed of tubular ism with the axis of the long pipe sections.

A bearing support for the purpose nated g is adapted to be detachably secured specified, having in combination a support, in the upper end of one of these pipe standa casting torming a bracket provided with ards. a relatively deep concave recess at the top, a This bearing support comprises a casting pair of rollers rotatably supported by the The casting is so shaped as to provide a conrecess, one on each side of the center of the cave recess on the top'and the said rollers casting for rotatably supporting long pipe are adapted to project within this concave sections of various diameters, and means for rocess, one on each side of the center. The frictionally and detachably securing the cast- 55 pipe a1 rests on these rollers and it is obvious ing to the support to permit the axes of the rollers to be disposed in parallelism with respect to the axis of'the pipe sections.

3. A bearing support for the purpose specified, having in combination, a support, a member provided wit-hmean's for rotatably supporting long pipe sections of various diameters, spring clip fastening means for detachably mounting the member on said support to hold the member securely on the support and to permit the pipe supporting means to be correctly positioned with respect to the axis of the long pipe sections.

LA bearing support for "the purpose specified, having in combination, a support, a bracket provided with a pairof rollers for rotatably supporting pi 3e sections, and means carried by said racket Whioh is adapted to co-operate with the support and hold the bracket securely on said support,

"said means'being such as to permit adjustment of the bracket whereby the axes of the rollers may be disposed in parallelism with respect to the axis of the long pipe sections 5. A hearing support for overhead irrigating systems, having in combination a tubular support vertically directed, and a pi )0 supporting bracket arranged to rotatab ly support the pipe and provided with fastening means that may be removably plugged into theend of the tubular support by compression of the fastening means.

7 6. A hearing support for overhead irrigating systems, having in combination a tubular support vertically directed, and a pipe supporting bracket arranged to rotatably support the pipe and provided with a loop-like spring fastening means that may be removably plugged into the end of the tubular support;
